Built with the serious photographer in mind, the Joby Ballhead is lightweight and compact, yet still robust enough to support SLR cameras with zoom lenses. It further extends the functionality of the Gorillapod by allowing even more creative camera positions and an improved ability to capture great shots! It’s also compatible with many other tripods.
The ballhead, which is made out of precision-machined aluminum housing with an all-metal ball, has a maximum weight load is 6.6 lbs (3kg). It weighs 10.9 oz (310g). The slim-line quick-release clip (with bubble level) is a universal ¼-inch camera screw, with additional 3/8-inch adapter. It measures 2.7″ x 1.8″ x 2.5″ (68mm x 45mm x 63mm).
You can position your camera at virtually any angle to capture portrait or landscape shots with ease. The adjustment knob easily locks the ballhead into place.
You can buy it now for $44.95 from the Joby site.
